Best Brandenburg Concerto recording CD


Demoing new speakers this weekend...would love to test out Brandenburg Concertos...which recording should I pick?

I'd second Pinnock/English Concert on Archive, my favorite performance. Pearlman/Boston Baroque is also top notch.
Recording quality would be more important for demoing the speakers, but of course a great performance is appreciated also. Thanks for the suggestions.
If you are auditioning only the tweeters of the speakers, then by all means choose from the above. If you want to hear some mids and bass as well (ie. the “whole” speaker), then try Benjamin Britten's recordings with the ECO on Decca. Karl Richter on DGG (an older recording) is also worthy of a listen.

(Boys, I think the frenzy for “original instruments” has mercifully past.)
